Plan Notes

CROP FAMILIES The color of the circle around each plant in the plant selector represents the crop family it belongs to. The example here shows the green circle around cauliflower, indicating that it is a member of the cabbage family. Green is for the Brassica (cabbage) family. Light Blue is for the Legume (pea and bean) family. Pink is for the Chenopodiaceae (beet) family. Lilac is for the Allium (onion) family. Salmon is for the Cucurbit (squash) family. Yellow is for the Solanaceae (potato and tomato) family. Grey is for Miscellaneous (other plant families which don’t require rotating). POTATOES. 1. First Earlies in End of March. 2. Second earlies in 2nd week April. 3. Maincrop in 2nd week April.
